About

THE EFFECT OF NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ON LABOUR PAIN, FEAR, DURATION AND MATERNAL SATISFACTION

Full description

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of neuro linguistic programming on labour pain, fear, duration and maternal satisfaction.

Sample size:

• The sample size of the study is 124 (for primiparous=62, multiparous=62).
• Frist, primiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group.
• Second, multiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group.

Data Collection Tools;

• Introductory Information Form,
• Visual Analog Scale for Pain,
• Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version,
• Birth Satisfaction Scale

Application time:

• The neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the experimental group. NLP application will be done when the cervical opening is 4 cm, when the cervical opening is 5-6 cm, when the cervical opening is 7-8 cm.NLP application will be done three times in total. Each session will last 20 minutes
• No neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the control group.

Measurement time:

• Introductory Information Form will be completed by the woman when the cervical dilatation is 3-4 cm.
• VAS for pain will be measured before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 4 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 5-6 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 7-8 cm; when cervical dilatation is 9-10 cm.
• Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version and Birth Satisfaction Scale will be completed by the woman in the postnatal ward at approximately the second hour postpartum after the birth has taken place.
• The labour duration will be started for the mother who comes to the delivery room when the cervical opening is 4 cm and the total labour duration will be measured in minutes after the birth occurs.
• The control group will not be administered NLP only, but the measurements will be completed as in the experimental group.

Enrollment: 124 patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 19 to 35 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• pregnant women who give birth vaginally,
• whose birth takes place in the delivery room unit,
• who are 19 years of age or older and 35 years of age or younger,
• who are born at 37 and above gestational weeks,
• who give singleton birth,
• who do not have chronic diseases and any complications in this pregnancy and postpartum period

Exclusion criteria

• mothers who wish to leave the study voluntarily at any stage after being included in the study,
• who develop any health problems in themselves or their babies during the birth and postnatal period will be excluded from the scope.

124 participants in 4 patient groups

neuro linguistic programming group for primiparous

Experimental group

Description:

NLP application to the experimental group will be done by the researcher Ayşegül Kılıçlı. The application session will 20 minutes. The application will be started in the active phase of labour when the cervical opening is 4 cm. In the neuro linguistic programming (NLP); The system of representation of women in practice will be determined first. Then, with the anchoring technique, negative feelings and thoughts about labour will be tried to be erased from the mind or their severity will be reduced. Then, positive feelings and thoughts will be created instead of the mother's negative feelings and thoughts with belief change strategies. Then, with the swish technique, the mother's positive feelings and thoughts about labour will be made aware of and reinforced.

Treatment:

Other: neuro linguistic programming

control group for primiparous

No Intervention group

Description:

The control group will not receive only the neuro-linguistic programming, but all other assessments will be parallel to the experimental group (neuro linguistic programming group for primiparous).

neuro linguistic programmig group for multiparous

Experimental group

Description:

No Intervention group

Description:

The control group will not receive only the neuro-linguistic programming, but all other assessments will be parallel to the experimental group (neuro linguistic programming group for muliparous).
